Cities and towns face
unprecedented environmental, social, and economic challenges. Overcoming them
requires not only the right technical solutions but also the integrated
thinking that enhances the place industry, stimulates economic prosperity,
increases environmental resilience, and enhances social value while nurturing
what makes each site unique.
Urban planning and
development take place within a complex framework of regulations, legislation,
and competing stakeholder interests. Today, it is more important than ever to
find the perfect balance between population growth, quality of life,
biodiversity, heritage preservation, and wildfire management. This is why
consultants with the right mix of environmental and heritage knowledge, the
ability to navigate complex regulatory requirements, and extensive experience
in both large and small urban planning, form an essential part of the advisory
team for successful development projects.
Environment &
Heritage Partners have a proven track record of supporting private and public
sector clients to deliver successful urban developments. Project work ranges
from residential subdivisions, green and pit developments, planned new master
communities, large commercial subdivisions, and organizational structure plans.
Rapid
population growth, urbanization, and consolidation were occurring alongside
more complex legislative and regulatory controls. Smooth project implementation
requires a deep understanding of legislative and regulatory frameworks and good
relationships with approval authorities. On behalf of clients who work in urban
planning, design, and development, we work closely with the government and
planning authorities to facilitate a smooth project rollout in this complex
environment.
